Warrior mom from ‘The Terminator’ “still a knockout,” at 67 – Linda Hamilton today

Linda Hamilton played the cyborg assassin slayer on The Terminator. She was a resolute protector of her son, who would later lead the human resistance against frightening robots.

When the world first met the formidable Sarah Connor, Hamilton was just 28 years old. Even at 67, people are still in awe of the gorgeous star, claiming that she “used to be young and beautiful.” She’s really gorgeous now.

In the science fiction movie, written and directed by her now-ex-husband James Cameron, viewers were first introduced to Sarah Connor, a warrior mother defending her son’s future and ultimately saving humanity from extinction.

“Sarah Connor is not an icon, in my honest opinion. She’s a lady from hell. She makes a number of very poor decisions. She tells People about her role, saying, “She’s not a good mother, she’s a good fighter.” “You sort of try to analyze the details and conclude, ‘Well, they acknowledge her strength and power, and I did produce a warrior, but she has a lot of flaws.'” She’s a flawed individual.

Using her identical twin sister Leslie Hamilton Freas as her stunt double, Hamilton increased her “strength and power” in 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

At the age of 63, Freas passed away in 2020; his cause of death remains unknown.

Twice divorced

Before making a comeback for T2, Hamilton delighted audiences by revealing her more vulnerable side as Catherine Chandler in the 1987–1990 fantasy drama Beauty and the Beast, in which she costarred with Ron Perlman (Hellboy).

The actress gave birth to her first child, Dalton, in 1989 with her ex-husband Bruce Abbott. Shortly after their divorce, Hamilton started dating Cameron, with whom she had a strong working relationship on The Terminator.

Hamilton, who married the filmmaker in 1997, four years after giving birth to her daughter Josephine, tells the New York Times of their relationship: “I think what happened there is that he really fell in love with Sarah Connor.” Additionally, I did,” she says.

Nevertheless, the power couple called it quits on their marriage in 1999 as The Terminator films went on.

‘Tired of being tough’

The Dante’s Peak actress then participated in 2019’s Terminator: Dark Fate, but she now declares that she is “done” with action movies.

Hamilton, who turns 68 on September 26, stated in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter from April 2024, “I was actually talking about retirement, not because there isn’t enough to do, but just I’m tired of being tough.”

“I’m just so tired of being tough, and I just want to be able to make plans and make sure I can be there,” the actress said, adding that she had been experiencing hip pain for a few years. “Actors never, ever can be there when they say they’re going to be there,” she said.

‘Stranger Things’

She was given the chance to participate in the popular Netflix series Stranger Things after becoming a huge fan of it.

“I’ve eagerly watched each season. Though she jokes that having her on the show “ruined it” for her, Hamilton tells US Weekly, “I just love it.” “I feel like I don’t belong there, so it’s kind of like imposter syndrome. That entire universe is situated in the 1980s.

Hamilton saw the show differently after being a part of it. She said, “You don’t see yourself in something when you really buy into it.” Thus, I believe that it somewhat destroyed the show for me.

Even so, she expressed her admiration for the event and said, “I’m excited to be involved.” However, I simply never saw that one coming. When you’re a fan of the program, it’s odd to kind of think, “Well, how do I fit?” However, we are addressing it.

‘Brilliant casting move’

Fans are ready for season five to premiere even if her character is under lockdown.

“Yes please!” exclaims one enthusiast. One comments, “Well, that was a brilliant casting move,” and another says, “Now just let’s hope they give her an interesting character.”

According to a third, “you call her when you need to get rid of a paranormal terminator from the underworld.”

Other online users, meanwhile, remarked on how amazing the Resident Alien star still looks at 67.

“A complete triumph. gently aging according to her criteria. Love the person and the actress,” says one.

“She was gorgeous and young once.” She’s so gorgeous now,” exclaims a second. “I had a huge crush on Linda, come to think of it, I still do [love] this lady,” a third person says.
